I had previously used ljmigrate to back up my LJ back in August 2007, somewhere on or near a previous LJ acquisition event. Looked at entry00001/entry.xml out of curiosity: Jan 3, 2003 Oh yeah, right after we got settled in for the winter with a cable modem in FL on our big road-trip sabbatical rollabout.
I made a full backup in XML at the time, and then purged my journal entries. Or at least, I thought I had, but the ljmigrate -r I just ran was able to pull some missing entries, as well as the recent ones. Maybe I only made them invisible/private. I suppose I should check on that.
Thirteen hundred-ish posts, and at least a couple of "I'm outta here" entries. But I keep coming back because somehow social email lists got tougher over the years-- I stopped having a Unix box at home, stopped having static IP addresses or a colo box, and spam took on epic proportions. A pull media seemed better.
Shrug.
Still here. Have backup. Waves. :-)
